In 1995 – Lord, how long ago it happened!... - I was participating along with a group of High school students from the Republic of Moldova at the National Romanian Language Olympiad at Calarasi. No, not our Calarasi, their Calarasi, from Baragan. But this does not matter, the fact that I was in a state of full Nirvana madness matters.

Everyone was crazy about them! I remember that all the youngsters were in a trance, and those who had walkmans were strolling and waggling in the rhythm of Come As You Are. … Only then I found out about Nirvana. I was telling you: I have always been a simple fogey provincial from Balti. When you think that Nevermind, has exactly the same age as Moldova. We are living in a continuous nirvana since then…

FILM FESTIVAL IN CAHUL Not only bad news come from Cahul. Between 25 and 29 September in this city took place the International Documentary Film Festival for Social Change, MOLDOX. If it became traditional, it would great!

IT MOVED US I never thought that I would include an earthquake in the good news. Still, this is what I am going to do. Probably, the only event that launched so many collective and adequate reactions this week was the Saturday earthquake. Oh, maybe except some individuals who dream to become presidents… However, no one considers them adequate for a long time.

From the good ones – that’s all… Now, about the really sad one:

SHOGUN DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE I don’t know if someone made me laugh more than Divertis. It is exactly the humor that I like: shifting, intelligent, „with many floors” – a delight! Ioan Gyuri Pascu was probably the most batty among them. He was fume and fret! And he burnt… too soon. Only 55…

Now about the crazy stuff, traditional:

THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE There are 16! Exactly 16! To wonder – nothing else. Several serious candidates and a wonder of jogglers. I do not want to put the chestnuts in the fire, that is why I leave you to choose them. You know, as in that short poem: „To divide them in two groups...”

100 POLLING STATIONS ABROAD So many will be opened. If the voting with expired passports will be interdicted, these efforts (and these spent money) will not serve for anything! The Parliament should decide once and for all! The voting should be done in the same conditions as in 2014!

BAHAMAS DODON The law stipulates: „(4) Canceling the registration shall be done at the request of the Central Electoral Commission, by a final court decision that notices: a) the use of undeclared financial and material funds or exceeding the expenditure above the threshold mean from the election fund by the candidate; b) the use  of funds from abroad by the candidate;” Who obeys the law in our country? RISE publishes a material where Dodon and PSRM are financed by the Russians by an offshore firm, and his candidacy is registered at CEC very easily. By the way, Ciubasenco is also included in the scheme, the candidate of Usatai.

CRIMINAL SAGA Speaking of Usatai, Veaceslav Balacci issues a very curious material about the adventures of Usatai. Not that we would find out something absolutely new. But it's good to remind to us what character we are at grips with. The Prosecutor's Office should deal with him, in fact, but we have to ...

NASTASE GATE We find out some curious stuff about Nastase also. For example, that he met with Climenco, the man of Shor. Absolutely accidentally, it seems. And his patron, Topa, with Usatai at Baden-Baden. Viorel Topa receives in the meantime several years of conviction for his personal collection. He gathered 15 already. And Ciubasenco, the candidate of Usatai is included in Dodon's schemes ... Oh dear! It spins your head ...

DO YOU WANT ME TO WRITE A COMPROMISING EVIDENCE?  GIVE ME A PEN AND PAPER! Some handwritten pamphlets that allegedly Plaha required to pay tens of thousands of dollars to some judges or senior officials was thrown in the press. I think the most appropriate response is Morari's. Basically, the guys who published these papers must respond. I am sick of this kind of scandals. I did once said: either these guys are lodged complaints at the Prosecutor's Office make a if prosecutors are covering up, or will answer for libel. And the press ... How can you publish something like that without trying at least to investigate the case?...

THE GOVERNMENT ASSUMED THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE WILL PAY "I Congratulate the Government from Chisinau for the achieved results. You proved that you have courage. Go further and you will have our full support in the realization of reforms", stated Victoria Nuland. And the Government went further. It assumed the responsibility. The Billion is public debt! But we new this already a long time ago, didn't we? Inclusively those who are criticizing vehemently the decision! But did anyone came with solutions? With proposals? Here, the IMF proposed! But with out IMF somebody realizes how much it would cost us? Generally, this story, at least for me, is becoming increasingly blurred. (Or rather, it is becoming clearer, but a little different. A kind of confirmation of what I thought in the begging). Here Kroll say that they have identified 600 millions. But where are the other 400? The arguments of Candu or Armasu, at least in the sense of fairness, also deserves attention. Only I do not understand why the obligations needs to be redireted necessarily to NBM. What if we would suggest to people? I mean to be distributed as widely as possible. In fact, it would mean that people borrow money to the state, but will recover them with interest. I think this is the only way we will not have to pay ... But I feel that this solution is pretty utopian and naive. That you can not put bonds on people's neck, could you?

THE RESOLUTION PROJECT PRO PLAHA: Two congressmen have proposed a draft resolution in the US. I will tell you just what I did when I came across this news. I read the project. I found it rarely stupid. I sought who are the authors. Two of the most ... Republicans.  Come on, I will silece my self before I create a diplomatic scandal. However, these characters exist in all parliaments. Only my mind involuntarily flew elsewhere: Republicans> Trump> Putin> Nastase ... Ptfu ... Moscow's hand again.

Otherwise, how do I say? For example if in France Le Pen had requested an investigation against Plahotniuc, certainly the credibility before the French state establishment's would have soared (even if he did not know about anybody anything until this requirement ... ). Here are some American paradoxes ... The situation is very interesting, namely in terms of the protagonists involved in this circus. Finally, Candu went as well to the US. Just is case.

What else could deserve some attention? 

-             MH17 was shot down by the Russians. That is said in the international investigation. And we all knew about this, but reconstitution is impressive. 

-              Swine fever at Donduseni. That's all we needed...

-              Kovesi accused of plagiarism. Just fancy, the DNA has already passed the Prut. Unfortunately to the other side.

The electoral campaign officially begins tomorrow. Interesting, until now what was it?
